These are just two of many controversial tenets of the Mormon religion:
"Mormon men can have multiple wives in heaven _ eternal polygamy," says one tenet, while another claims that "God the father had sex with Mary to conceive Jesus, who is the half brother of Lucifer."

We read with disgust that not only has the USA admitted breaking international law in allowing its Intelligence Agency to carry out water torture, but is now destroying the evidence.

'The CIA destroyed video evidence of the coercive interrogation of al-Qaida operatives held under its secret rendition programme in order to shield agents from prosecution, it was revealed yesterday.

The decision to destroy two videotapes documenting the use of waterboarding against Abu Zubaydah and another high-value al-Qaida detainee was made in November 2005 - as American media were just beginning to focus on the existence of the secret CIA prison network'

Isnt it time that the USA come clean and those responsible for ordering torture be brought to account ?

Isn't it a sign of deficient faith when a sick Christian isn't healed or a Christian isn't delivered from danger?
It would be a serious mistake to imply that deficient faith accounts for all instances in which a person does not receive healing or deliverance.
It's true that Scripture tells of people who were healed or delivered from danger because of their faith. Some examples are Gideon ( Judges 7:15-23 ); Naaman the Syrian ( 2 Kings 5:14-15 ); Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego ( Daniel 3:19-29 ); the centurion's servant ( Matthew 8:13 ); the woman with an issue of blood ( Matthew 9:20-22 ); the man with a withered hand ( Matthew 12:9-13 ); and Peter's deliverance from prison ( Acts 12:5-12 ). Even this partial list is impressive.
Clearly, faith in God may result in healing and deliverance. However, the Scriptures also show us just as clearly that there are times when a believer's suffering or sickness has nothing to do with a lack of faith.
When Job lost his family, wealth, and physical health, his friends "comforted" him with the message that his loss and suffering were due to his own moral failure (his lack of faith). But Job was confident in his integrity before God. God Himself had declared him perfect and upright ( Job 1:8 ). Later, God Himself denied the explanation that Job's "counselors" gave for his suffering ( Job 13:1-15 ). Even more importantly, God Himself denounced their words ( Job 42:7-8 ).
Job's faith wasn't the problem. In fact, Job's faith in God was so strong that he, without cursing or disrespect, defended his integrity to God and questioned Him about the injustice of his suffering. Yet, in the midst of his agony, he continued to trust:

Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him. He also shall be my salvation, for a hypocrite could not come before Him (Job 13:15-16).

For I know that my Redeemer lives, and He shall stand at last on the earth; and after my skin is destroyed, this I know, that in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. How my heart yearns within me! (Job 19:25-27).
Job's faith was eventually rewarded and vindicated. But he wasn't spared the terrible suffering that allowed his faith to be tested and proven.
Even at a time when miracles often occurred, God allowed Stephen to be stoned ( Acts 7:59-60 ) and James to be beheaded. Although Acts 12 tells of Peter's supernatural deliverance from captivity in prison, Jesus had already prophesied that he would eventually die a martyr's death ( John 21:17-19 ), as (according to tradition) did all of the other disciples except John.
In 2 Corinthians 11:23-30 Paul eloquently described the suffering and trials from which he hadn't been delivered. He also suffered from a particular "thorn in the flesh" ( 2 Corinthians 12:7, 10 ) for which God had not provided a remedy. When Timothy suffered from a stomach ailment, Paul didn't exhort him to have greater faith. Instead he told him to take some wine as medicine ( 1 Timothy 5:23 ). There isn't the slightest hint in these passages that Paul's trials and Timothy's sickness were the product of unconfessed sin or deficient faith. In fact, rather than proclaiming that our faith in Christ should deliver us from the suffering and trials of this world, Paul extols the spiritual benefits of suffering.
We also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance [produces] character, and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out His love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom He has given us (Romans 5:3-5).
James also made it clear that strong faith is no insurance against suffering:
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything (James 1:2-4).
On the basis of Scripture, we can say that faith is always relevant to suffering. Our reaction to suffering -- whether in faith or in despair -- determines whether it will produce spiritual growth or despair. But because spiritual healing is more important to us than our physical circumstances, faith is not a barrier against suffering.
Whenever we are inclined to presume that the illness or suffering of another person is the result of that person's sin, we should recall the foolishness of Job's "counselors" in attempting to explain the mystery of God's will. Although faith won't always deliver us from tribulation, it will keep us conscious of God's promises and of the assurance that He will work everything out to good of His children ( Romans 8:28 ).

I mean a relationship you'd say was your favorite mistake. Yes, just like that song by Sheryl Crow. Really! I'm sure many have had at least one. Were you love somebody but they are so wrong for you, for whatever the reason. But you still love them anyway. Care to share with me.
Ah what the heck got to do this too...... I just reached level 4. Give it up for me too. Wooo hoo!

it was your parents, why didn't you carry on believing they existed and it was just you who wasn't getting visited? Nobody ever seems to think there might be a reason why santa or the tooth fairy never wants to visit them personally.

Somebody asked earlier why there are so few "original" questions asked in R&S, his assumption was that most questions are just recycled versions of questioned already asked.. This may be largely responsible for this phenom, I have another "theory":

Every original question that challenges religious beleif in any way is overreported by the monkies and gets deleted before it is exposed to a larger audience..

Being born and raised in southern California, and knowing about the drought conditions because the lack of rainfall the past few years, I am confused when the weather forecasters talk about a rain storm being a bad thing, and how it is good news when we don't get as much rain as predicted. Anyone agree?

Granted, people in soCal can't drive in rain...............

I will be the first to admit that I am no good at relationships. I ben with so many men all I can do is wonder where I went wrong. I think what it is, is my older brother is sooo nice, that when I meat other men I have expectations that they will be good to me. So I have had so many problems with my boyfriend "BONES" that I am thinking to bake up this time. We ben together for about 4 months. I LOVE HIM. But he is NOT good for me and my doughter. We need a real man to take care of us. Not to drag me down with him. I need a good way to get him to move out of my place, and to do a final brake up. My friends say that he will not go on without me and that he loves me. so this is hard. He ben stressin me out all kinds to that I cant even imagine to share. We Wont Go There. so:Whats worked for you in the past???? How to get over this??????

How come an initive gets voted on and approved by the voters and then later it gets over turned.

Doesn't this make the initive process worthless? If the people have spoken and voted something in and that it only gets over turned later. Then what is the use?

For example, a number of years ago proposition 187 (no public benefits for illegals) was voted in by the voters and then later got over turned. Does that make it useless?
